Worse Than Small Pox.
A GREAT DANGER WHICH MENACEs AN
UNsUsPICIoUs PUBLIC.

UNsUsPICIoUs PUBLIC.
The Bromptom Hospita, for con-
sumptives, in London, reports that
over fifty people ont of every hundred
consumptives, are victims of constipat.
ed or inactive kidneys.
Consumption is one Of our national
diseases, aud the above report goes to
pro what has often beer said in our
columns during the last eight years,
that kidney troubles are not only the
cause of more than half of the cases of
consumption, but of ninety out of every
hundred other common diseases. They
who have taken this position, make
their claims after elaborate investiga-
ton, and their proof that they have
discovered a specific for the terrible
and stealthy kidney diseases, which
have become so prevalent among us,
is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from
them fresh supply of their wonder
ful advertising. They have challenged
the medical profession and science to
investigate They have investigated,
and those who are frank have admit
ted the truth of their statements, They
claim that ninety per cent of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys
that these inactive kidneys allow the
blood to become filled with uric acid
poison that this uric acid poison in
the blood carries disease through every
organ,
There is enough uric acid developed
in the system within twenty-four hours
to kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it re-
quires only ordinary wisdom to see the
effect inactive kidneys must have upon
the system.
If this poison is not removed, il
ruins every organ. If the bowels,
stomach or liver become inactive, we
know it at once, but other organs help
them out. If the kidneys becore con-
stipated and dormant, the warning
comes later on, aud often when it is
too late, because the effects are remote
from the kidneys and those organs are
not suspected to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased
are unable to resist the attacks of this
poison, and the disease often takes the
form of and is treated as local afflict
ion, when in reality the real cause Of
the trouble was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men of the pres
ent day hold what was a fact twenty
years ago, that kidney disease is in
durable, according to the medicines
authorized by their code. Hence, they
ignore the original cause of disease it
self, and give their attention to useless
treating Of local effects.
rney dose the patient with quinine
morphine, or with salts and other ply
sizes, hoping that thus nature may cur'
the disease, while the kidneys continue
to waste away with inflammation, ulcer
alton and decay, and the victim event
ually perishes.
The same quantity of blood tina
passes through the heart, passes through
The kidneys. If the kidneys are dis
eased, the blood soaks up this disease
and takes it all through the system
Hence it is, that the claim is made tina
Warmers safe cure, the only know
specific for kidney diseases, cures 9,
per cent of human ailments, becaus
it, and it alone, is able to maintain tn
natural activity of the kidneys, and tt
neutralize and remove the ulic acid, O.
kidney poison, as fast as it is formed
If this acid is not removed, there i
inactivity of the kidneys, and there viii
be produced in the system paralysis
apoplexy, dyspepsia, Consumption
heart disease, headaches, rheumatism
pneumonia, impotency, and all tn
nameless diseases of delicate womer
If the poisonous matter is separate
from the blood, as fast as it is formed
these diseases, in majority of cases
would not exist.
1t only requires particle of small
pox virus to produce that vile disease
and the poisonous matter from the kic
neys, passing all through the syster
and becoming lodged at different w"a
points, is equally destructive, a'thoug
more disguised.
If it were possible for US to see int
the kidneys, and how quickly the bloc
passing through them goes to the heal
and lungs and other parts of the system
carrying this deadly virus with it, al
would believe without hesitation whf
has so often been stated in advertise
ments in these columns, that the XII,
neys are the most important organs
the body.
They may regard this article as a
advertisement and refuse to believe j
but that is matter over which "
have no control. Careful investigate
and science itself are proving beyond
doubt that this organ is, in fact, mo-
important than any other in the sy
lem as health regulator, and as sue
should be closely watched, TO, the lea
sign of disordered action.
